Concert to Raise 

Funds for Alzheimer’s 

Association 

Daughter Organizes Show in Honor of Her Dad 

By J.D. O’Gara 

Why not have a great Saturday 

night out and benefit a good 

cause at the same time? On 

Saturday, August 20, the Third 

Annual Music for Memories 

Concert, will take place at 7 p.m. 

at the Medway VFW, 123 Holliston 

Street, Medway, to benefit 

the Alzheimer’s Association in 

honor of Joel Osborne to fund 

research for a cure for Alzheimer’s 

Disease. The cost is $15 for 

adults or $10 for children 12 and 

under. 

“I grew up in Medway, and 

both of my parents did as well,” 

says Adrienne Ross, who organizes 

the the event to raise money 

for the Alzheimer’s Association 

Walk to End Alzheimer’s in September. 

Although this is the third 

local concert for the cause, “This 

is actually our 9 th year doing the 

walk,” says Ross, who started 

walking in Keene, NH when she 

was in college. Later, she moved 

to the Greater Boston walk, then

Ross walks in her Dad, Joel 

Osborne’s honor. At just 58 and 

now living in a peer facility in 

Wellesley, he was diagnosed with 

Early Alzheimer’s Disease about 

8 years ago, when Adrienne had 

just started college. 

“My stepmom initially started 

noticing things,” says Ross. “My 

Dad’s always been a forgetful 

person, and my sister and I always 

sort of made fun of him. 

She noticed signs of him being 

forgetful, and people started noticing 

he was messing things up 

at work when he never had before.” 

Osborne was tested for all 

types of conditions, including 

Lyme Disease. Finally, the diagnosis 

was Alzheimer’s. 

“He’s in pretty late stages 

now,” says Ross, explaining that 

he now uses a wheelchair and 

no longer talks, although he still 

shows emotions and expressions,

Square, the main flower beds, 

gazebo, trees, and fountain area 

were also mulched after they were 

weeded. It was noted last year 

that the railing at the Fire Station 

was in need of repair. Volunteers 

replaced the damaged 

piece of railing on the curved 

retaining wall, then sanded and 

re-painted railings on both sides 

of the driveway at no cost to the 

town. The Historical Society had 

numerous society members work 

on its extensive property to weed, 

plant annuals, and spread mulch. 

Town Hall’s walkways, patio 

bricks, flower beds and memorial 

areas all received meticulous 

weeding. The Senior Center had 

extensive planting and mulching 

done in June, but weeds always

Getting the Financial “Junk Drawer” in Order 

with Charles River Bank 

Everyone’s got a 

junk drawer, and although 

it can be a 

daunting task, it feels 

good to reorganize 

that drawer once in a 

while. That feeling is 

twofold when the reorganization 

involves 

finances. Tomas Cern, 

VP/Director of Financial 

Services at Charles 

River Bank, specializes 

in helping customers 

take stock of and 

reevaluate all of the 

different pieces that 

comprise their financial 

“junk” drawers. 

“I think I have more 

passion with helping 

you – just by having a 

conversation with you on finding 

opportunities to help you 

get better lined up – be a happier 

person in relation to your 

finances. That’s the reward,” 

says Cern. 

Tom Cern, who has been affiliated 

with Cambridge Investments 

since 2013, helps provide 

clients with a “family financial 

office”. 

“There are so many services 

Celebrating Our 39th Year 

COmmitted tO the art Of danCe eduCatiOn 

that we provide,” he says. 

“It entails a conversation 

with clients about all of 

their financial needs – not 

just mortgage, not just 

savings, not just commercial 

lending for businesses, 

but how are you handling 

all your assets? Where are 

you in relation to retirement 

savings or estate 

planning, and how can 

you manage your cash 

flow better? The fun part 

is working with the clients 

and finding what works 

for them,” says Cern. 

The starting point, says 

Cern, is to take an assessment 

at all of a client’s 

accounts and determine 

what is or is not still working 

for them. 

“It could be a collection of 

life insurance policies, wills, 

trusts that you created five, 10 

years ago, looking at retirement 

accounts through work or an old 

employer 401K that you’ve left 

behind. In most situations, we 

have a simple questionnaire that 

clients can fill out,” he says. 

The second step in the process 

is simply having that conversation, 

says Cern. 

“What do you want to get 

accomplished? What are your 

biggest fears, or your biggest 

highs? Do you want a second 

house on the beach in Florida? 

Do you want to buy that classic 

Camaro that you had your eyes 

on? Do you want to get your 

kids through private instead of 

public college? Do you want to 

go to Europe? This gives us a 

good idea of the type of person 

you are, and helps us figure out 

how to get that accomplished,” 

says Cern.

Southern Design Elements for Your 

New England Home 

Over the weekend, I was 

lucky enough to be in a beautiful 

wedding in Isle of Palms, 

South Carolina, a city about 15 

miles east of Charleston. While 

down there, I was blown away 

by the architecture and design 

elements of the waterfront “cottages” 

and historic plantations 

throughout the area. Charleston 

was very traditionally southern, 

while Isle of Palms had an 

added coastal flair. Every day, 

I found myself saying, “Ooh, 

look at that door!” or, “Check 

out that porch!” I am sure my 

friends got sick of that quickly, 

but I loved it so much that I 

wanted to share some tips and 

tricks to bringing a little southern 

flair to Massachusetts. 

“Haint Blue” Porch Ceilings: 

Walking down the street 

in South Carolina, you will see 

nearly everyone’s porch ceiling 

is a light blue color. The century-old 

southern tradition of 

a light blue porch ceiling comes 

first from superstition and has 

continued as tradition. It was 

originally believed that this blue 

color painted on the porch ceiling 

would protect the home 

from “haints” or restless spirits 

that would bring evil. It was believed 

that the spirits could not 

cross water, which is what the 

blue paint represented. While 

haints may not be an everyday 

concern for homeowners now, 

it still brings a southern charm 

Alex Yavarow, Lead Designer at 

Masters Touch Design Build 

and cheerfulness that can make 

any porch “pop.” 

TIP: Benjamin Moore’s Palladian 

Blue is a perfect “haint 

blue.” 

Cable Railings: While cable 

railings themselves may not be 

truly southern, I saw cable railings 

used for porches and decks 

frequently at the newer houses 

along the coast. A cable rail system, 

which replaces a typical rail 

system with spindles, is ideal for 

a coastal setting because they 

give the most unobstructed view 

to the stunning shorelines (aside 

from glass which is pricy and can 

be dangerous to birds). Using a 

cable railing system is a way to 

instantly update a deck or porch, 

especially if you have views you 

want to take advantage of. 

Mason Jars: Nothing screams 

the south more than a mason jar 

filled with sweet tea. But instead 

of just using that mason jar for 

drinking out of or canning with, 

use them as décor in the kitchen. 

Use them as storage containers 

for sugar and flour, or decorate 

your tablescape with mason jars 

filled with flowers or votive candles. 

There are even mason jar 

inspired light fixtures out there, 

like the one from Pottery Barn: 

Plantation Shutters: Associated 

with large southern plantations 

where they were most often 

used, plantation shutters are an 

easy way to bring a southern 

design staple to your Massachusetts 

home. While plantation 

shutters actually first date back 

to ancient Greece, they gained 

popularity in the 18 th and 19 th 

century in the south to facilitate 

their elegant design style. Used 

for light control, ventilation, and 

protection, they are an attractive 

way to dress your windows without 

much frill. 

Porch Furniture: If you have 

a porch like almost all the homes 

I saw on vacation did, then you 

need porch furniture. As they 

say in the south when asked 

what every southern porch 

needs, the answer is always, “A 

swing, a glass of sweet tea and 

a dog,” according to Rick Clanton 

of Group 3, a design firm in 

South Carolina. I can’t argue 

with that! 

Alex Yavarow is a lead designer at 

Masters Touch, a local design build 

firm located at 24 Water St., Holliston.

Dogs Risk Overheating During Summer Heat Waves 

Know the Warning Signs; Quick Action May Save Your Dog’s Life 

By Cristina Valas, DVM 

The high temperatures this 

time of year can cause your animal 

to become overheated, and 

this can lead to heat exhaustion 

which is a step before heat stroke, 

a life-or-death situation. 

Overheating occurs when it is 

90 degrees or above. 

Since dogs do not sweat 

through the body, excess heat is 

dissipated through evaporation 

from the tongue and oral cavity. 

Dogs do have sweat glands between 

their toes, but these are not 

very effective at cooling. 

Certain breeds – bulldogs, 

pugs and Boston terriers – that 

have pushed-in faces and tiny 

noses are prone to overheating 

even at much lower temperatures. 

These dogs are further compromised 

by having excess tissue at 

the back of the throat, small nasal 

passages and a narrow windpipe, 

making it more difficult for them 

to breathe. 

The sooner you realize your 

dog is overheated the better. 

Heavy panting and loud, raspy 

breathing are signs to look for, and 

this condition progresses rapidly 

to heat exhaustion when you see 

the dog has bright, red gums and 

an inability to get up or the dog is 

staggering.

measures over 103 degrees and 

the dog is exhibiting signs, cool 

the dog by soaking him with water 

 

 

 

from a garden hose and place a 

fan on him. You can also put ice 

packs on the major blood vessels 

on either side of the neck and in 

the groin area and put rubbing 

alcohol between the toes on the 

underside of the paws. 

Never wrap a dog in a wet 

towel as that insulates the heat. 

If the temperature registers 

104 degrees or higher or your dog 

is showing signs of heat exhaustion, 

transport your dog to your 

veterinarian as soon as possible. If 

your dog is vomiting, has profuse 

diarrhea, is unable to walk and is 

obtunded (unresponsive), he has 

heat stroke and needs immediate 

emergency care. The sooner you 

get the dog to the vet, the more 

likely the dog is to make it as multiple 

organ failure and clotting issues 

often ensue in dogs with heat 

stroke.

“It definitely is not a fun disease, 

and I would not wish it on 

anyone, especially at that age,” 

says Ross. 

Most of the money raised by 

the 13 walks held by the Massachusetts/New 

Hampshire Alzheimer’s 

Association the two 

states, says Ross. “Most of it goes 

to research for the cure, but it 

also helps fund a 24-hour hotline 

for people who are dealing with 

Alzheimer’s and their caregivers 

– support groups across the state, 

different care programs and education 

about the disease. Me and 

my sister Jessica, we are huge advocates 

of the support groups the 

association offers.” 

Ross explains that the Alzheimer’s 

Association supported 

her father and stepmother early 

on in the diagnosis with a support 

group for patients 

at the same 

time a support group 

was held for caregivers. 

“He would meet 

with other people 

who had the disease, 

and she then would 

go to ones herself, 

and then I joined the 

children’s.” 

Ross says it has 

been difficult to 

watch the progression 

of the disease, and 

the support group 

has helped her. People 

talk about their 

grandparents having 

the disease, she 

says, “but it’s so different 

when it’s your 

Dad. In the group, 

the parents all have 

Alzheimer’s, and 

they’re all around 

my age. People sort 

of get it. I was really 

hesitant to go at first, 

but now I’m glad I did. It’s been 

a huge help.” 

The concert, says Adrienne, 

was something a friend of hers, 

Katie, suggested back in college 

to push fundraising for the walks 

to another level. 

“When we were in college we 

would have an ‘Unforgettable 

Talent Show,’” she says, with a 

Adrienne Ross is shown here with her Dad, Joel Osborne, in 2013. 

Ross has organized the third Music for Memories concert to take place 

at the Medway V.F.W. on August 20 to raise money for the Alzheimer’s 

Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s. 

bunch of kids who had talent 

they wanted to show off, with an 

optional donation at the door, 

but it all added up, and when 

we graduated from college, we 

wanted to keep it going. We have 

a lot of friends who do musical 

theatre and a capella groups, 

and we thought we’d host a concert 

right here in Medway.” The 

show is an eclectic mix 

of all styles and talents, 

from singers and dancers, 

to classic rock. 

In addition to the 

concert, many local 

companies donate 

raffle items – there 

are over 30, as well as 

refreshments. “The 

Boston sports teams 

have been really great 

about donating items,” 

she says, noting in the 

past that they raffled 

off a Rob Gronkowski 

autographed football 

and each year the Red 

Sox have donated an 

autographed baseball 

and the Bruins have 

donated autographed 

pucks. 

Tickets for Music

Holliston’s Lowland Industrial 

Park Community Gives Back 

1 st Annual Lowland Industrial Park Pantry Shelf Drive 

Members of the Lowland 

Industrial Park came together 

this June to do a month-long 

drive among their employees 

for the Holliston Pantry 

Shelf. Spearheaded by Joey 

Teblum of Lista International, 

Joey reached out to the companies 

in the ‘neighborhood’ 

to participate in this event. He 

maintained regular communication 

with the contacts at each 

of the participating companies 

to monitor the contributions 

and send out encouraging reminders. 

On Thursday June 

30 th Joey picked up the items

A great way to kick off the

for the Pantry Shelf 

come in during the school year 

and around the holidays, thus 

leaving the shelves pretty bare 

during the summer months. 

So we hope to make this an

to challenge or encourage all 

the other professional parks in 

Holliston to do the same!

Fiske’s Memberships 

to Benefit Food 

Pantry this Month 

As it did in July, throughout 

August, for every new or renewed 

Friends membership, Fiske’s will 

donate $5 to the Holliston Pantry 

Shelf. 

The Holliston Pantry Shelf 

supplies food free of charge to 

Holliston residents in need. The 

Pantry is different from other 

food pantries in several aspects. 

First, the Pantry is open five days 

a week all year. Furthermore, 

the Pantry allows clients to shop 

for their own food, a completely 

unique approach. Finally, the 

Pantry has no paid staff and 

relies on volunteers to run it. 

Therefore, all money received 

goes either toward buying food 

or maintaining the space for the 

Pantry. 

The Holliston Pantry Shelf is 

located at 23 Water Street, Holliston, 

MA 01746. It can be reached 

at (508) 429-5392 or at info@hollistonpantryshelf.org. 

The pantry 

is open Monday to Friday, from 

10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and additionally 

on Monday and Wednesday 

from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. * In case 

of inclement weather, please call

New Public Art in Holliston 

Submitted by 

Holliston in Bloom 

A former cracked retaining 

wall at the Fire Station has been 

transformed into a work of public 

art over the past year. In April 

2015, Holliston in Bloom started 

the transformation with the 

Exchange Street municipal lot 

walkway project. Thanks to multiple 

municipal departments, and 

several local companies and individuals, 

a new retaining wall and 

walkway were built leading from 

the municipal lot on Exchange 

Street to Central Street. Holliston 

in Bloom also paid for repairs 

to the existing two retaining walls 

at the fire station. Donations of 

dozens of hosta plants from 

town residents completely filled 

the garden planted under the 

crabapple tree and annuals were 

added by the Downtown Marigold 

Project along the walkway 

and new fence. 

Thanks to Gil Cunha of 

Stock Car Auto for watering all 

the hostas and plants at the fence 

since last year! 

The mural started as a Tate 

family affair. In 2015, sisters 

Maddy and Sammy Tate submitted 

a design to Fire Chief Michael 

Cassidy that included an image 

of a stone wall and possibly an 

arch. Late last summer, mom 

Michelle helped HIB Secretary 

Cherry Fenton prime the largest 

repaired retaining wall. Cherry 

painted the curved retaining wall 

this spring. In addition to working 

on her senior project this past 

spring, the 8-Arch Bridge school 

art project where nearly 200 Holliston 

elementary and middle 

school students submitted their 

interpretations of the Bogastow

Alarming Rate of Bee Deaths Threaten Summer Picnics 

Strawberries, watermelon, 

and juicy tomatoes are among 

the summer picnic staples at risk 

if bee colonies continue to collapse 

at unprecedented rates, 

Representative Carolyn Dykema, 

Senator Jamie Eldridge, local 

beekeeper Itzi Garcia and Environment 

Massachusetts has said. 

Bees pollinate most of the 

world’s most common crops, including 

seasonal favorites such 

as peaches, asparagus, and cherries. 

But the U.S. is losing about 

a third of its bee colonies each 

year, alarming beekeepers, farmers 

and chefs along with environmental 

advocates. 

Environment Massachusetts 

staged two picnics at the Boston 

Common to illustrate the impact 

bee die-offs could have on 

a popular summer pastime: one 

replete with produce filled pasta 

salad, fresh fruit, and a range of 

salads, the other with only plain 

pasta. 

“One of the best things about 

summer is the abundance of 

fresh fruits and vegetables,” said 

Colin Campbell, canvasser and 

campaign event coordinator with 

Environment Massachusetts. 

“But what fun is summer without 

watermelon? That’s why we need 

action to save the bees.” 

“It’s important to remember 

that pollinators are responsible 

for about one of every three bites 

of food we eat.” Senator Jamie 

Eldridge stated at the picnic. 

“The great thing about a picnic 

without bees is that it makes 

all of us aware that this is an issue 

that effects each and every one of 

us, not just today but well into the 

future,“ said State Representative 

Carolyn Dykema while speaking 

about her work on protecting the 

bees and other pollinators. 

Scientists point to the increased 

use of and exposure to 

a class of pesticides known as 

neonics as a major cause of the 

recent increase in bee deaths, 

which have brought the U.S. 

population of the pollinators to 

historic lows. 

Major garden retailers such 

as Lowes and Home Depot are 

phasing out sales of the chemicals, 

and the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency is currently 

evaluating the impact of four 

types of neonics on pollinators. 

Environmental advocates are 

urging EPA to suspend use of the 

dangerous pesticides now and 

speed up the timing of the impact 

study, currently not scheduled 

for completion until as late 

as 2018. Sen. Eldridge spoke out 

about his support for a federal 

level ban by the EPA of neonics 

and sited the fact that the European 

Union banned the use of 

these pesticides in 2013. “Sadly 

the United States is behind the 

EU and other countries.” 

Joining with a broad range of 

groups in D.C. this week for a 

rally and celebration of “pollinator 

week,” representatives from 

Environment Massachusetts delivered 

petitions to EPA asking 

for a ban on neonics. 

“Given the facts we have at 

hand about the links between 

neonics and bee die offs, EPA 

should move boldly and swiftly 

to stop any and all uses of these 

dangerous chemicals,” said Colin 

Campbell. “For the sake of the 

bees and our favorite summer 

foods, there’s no time to waste.”

Hollman Releases Updated Easy Walks 

Author Marjorie Turner Hollman, 

a frequent Local Town 

Pages freelance contributor, has 

explored many local trails the 

past several years. In the past two 

years, she has released a couple 

of guides to Easy Walks in south 

central Massachusetts, and will 

soon publish her updated Easy 

Walks in Massachusetts, 2 nd edition. 

Spending time on walking 

trails that are appropriate for 

grandparents, parents and children 

is a great way to make new 

memories, and share family stories. 

Hollman says, “As a personal 

historian, my job is to help people 

explore and appreciate the stories 

that have made them and their 

families resilient. One of the 

most important things parents 

can do to strengthen family ties 

is to spend time together. What 

better and more healthful way to 

spend that time than to get outside 

for an easy walk?” 

Hollman’s guides cover towns 

in the Blackstone River Valley 

and Upper Charles River watersheds. 

These guides provide 

maps to trailheads, information 

about what makes each location 

interesting, and what to expect 

along the trail, especially focusing 

on trail conditions. She notes 

which places welcome dogs, if a 

bathroom available, and much 

more. Her two trail guides together 

encompass 31 towns and 

include close to 90 different trails. 

Do you enjoy walking along 

quiet streams? Try a visit to 

Trout Pond or Birchwold Farm 

in Wrentham. Ready to do a little 

climbing to enjoy a view? Plan to 

climb up Joe’s Rock, or Knuckup 

Hill, the old ski hill in Wrentham 

where you can get some 

great views of the Boston Skyline 

when the leaves fall off the trees 

this fall. The boardwalk at Mass 

Audubon’s Stony Brook Nature 

Center in Norfolk is always a 

great spot for wildlife viewing. 

Do you love the carriage trails of 

Acadia National Park in Maine? 

Head over to Hopedale to visit 

Hopedale Parklands’ carriage 

road around Hopedale Pond. 

Wish you could enjoy a bike 

ride safely away from street traffic? 

Head over to the Upper 

Charles Trail in Milford and 

Holliston or the Blackstone River 

Bikeway in Woonsocket, RI. Explore 

hidden views of the Upper 

Charles River along trails in Bellingham, 

Medway or Millis. Take 

longer walks in the Foxboro State 

Forest, Upton State Forest, or the 

Ashland Town Forest. Visit local 

farms such as Tangerini’s Farm 

in Millis or the Medway Community 

Farm to enjoy their walking 

trails, open to the public. 

Easy Walks in Massachusetts, 

2 nd edition, is now available at 

Createspace https://www.createspace.com/6226590 

, on Amazon, 

or from the author. In the 

coming months, Hollman will 

be speaking at local libraries and 

other venues, sharing photos, telling 

stories, and encouraging folks 

to get outside to enjoy the beautiful 

New England countryside in 

south central Massachusetts that 

many of us call home. 

Marjorie Turner Hollman is 

a personal historian who loves 

the outdoors, and has completed 

two guides to Easy Walking trails in 

Massachusetts, Easy Walks in Massachusetts, 

and More Easy Walks in 

Massachusetts 2 nd edition. A native 

Floridian, she came north for 

college and snow! She has helped 

numerous families preserve their 

stories, and is the producer of 

multiple veterans’ interviews for 

the Bellingham/Mendon Veterans 

History Project. http://marjorieturner.com

3 rd Annual Blood Donor Drive at Franklin’s St. Rocco’s Feast 

With St. Rocco the Patron 

Saint of the Sick, the Graci family 

thought it a fitting location 

three years ago to host their first 

bone marrow registry booth, 

aimed at increasing the pool of 

candidates in the Delete Blood 

Cancer registry who could potentially 

save or prolong the life 

of someone with blood cancer, 

at the Feast of St. Rocco, held 

by St. Mary’s Parish in Franklin 

each year. Now for the third 

year, on Friday, August 12, from 

6-10 p.m., Saturday, August 13, 

from 12-7 p.m. and Sunday, 

12–6 p.m., Rita Graci and her 

husband, Brad, will once again 

encourage festival goers to take 

a simple tissue swab and fill out 

a form. 

The first two years of the 

drive garnered 454 registrees, 

and out of those, seven proved 

to be possible matches. 

“They do further testing to 

see who is a perfect match,” says 

Rita, “They say 18-35-year-old 

men are the best match, but we 

usually see women register.” 

Potential donors must be 18-55 

years old to register. 

Rita and Brad’s daughter, 

Kristin Graci passed from Leukemia 

at just 21 years old in 

April of 2010, but it was a battle 

she was able to fight a little bit 

longer, thanks to an anonymous 

bone marrow donor overseas. 

She was one of the four out of 

10 patients who was able to receive 

a transplant, but thousands 

are still in need. 

The Graci family’s involvement 

in bone marrow donor 

Brad, Rita and Justin Graci continue the mission of adding numbers to 

Delete Blood Cancer’s bone marrow registry in Franklin.

drives began when Kristin’s 

brother, Justin, became very involved 

with them as a student at 

UMass Amherst. While there, 

the drives he worked hard to 

help put together yielded 9,287 

registered. 569 matches, and 53 

donations. They wanted to continue 

his work. 

In fact, says Graci, “One of 

Kristin’s friends, Sarah, who 

played travel softball with her 

for years, she came to UMass 

for a celebration of Kristin’s 

Life Drive in April of 2010, and

she registered and was a perfect 

match for somebody. I had the 

honor to fly down to Georgetown 

Hospital in May of 2014 

to be with Sarah during the donation 

process. I must say, it was 

a moment in my life to see a process 

come full circle.” 

Rita says she herself was actually 

found to be a match at 

one time, but ultimately was not 

needed to donate. “Why, they 

really can’t tell you,” she says. 

The odds of a patient finding 

a donor are like winning the lottery, 

according to Delete Blood 

Cancer DKMS. The donor and 

patient should share at least 

8 HLA tissue characteristics. 

Therefore, every new donor increases 

the odds for those who 

need it. 

Potential donors’ HLA information 

is stored anonymously 

on the database until the donor 

reaches the age of 61. If the 

donor is a match for a patient, 

the donor will be asked to provide 

a blood sample and possibly 

undergo a few more tests. If the 

tests are positive, the donor will 

be asked to donate in one of two 

ways – peripheral blood stem 

cell donation or marrow donation. 

Rita Graci notes that 85% 

of donors are asked to do so 

through peripheral blood stem 

cell donation.

out more about signing up on 

the registry as a bone marrow 

donor, you can visit www.deletebloodcancer.org,

Behavioral Concepts, Inc. (BCI) and Hockomock 

Area YMCA Partner to Benefit Children with Autism 

Spectrum Disorders 

As a private company of behavioral 

clinicians specializing 

in the care of children with autism, 

Behavioral Concepts, Inc. 

(BCI) often provides its services 

in the homes of clients. Thanks 

to a partnership with the Hockomock 

Area YMCA, families now 

have the option to secure services 

for their children at any of the 

Hockomock Area Y’s four locations 

(Foxboro, Franklin, Mansfield 

and North Attleboro). 

“The Hockomock Area 

YMCA is truly special. They 

created the Integration Initiative, 

a program which embraces, 

welcomes, and supports persons 

with disabilities in many of the 

programs offered by the Y. They 

discovered that many of their 

members with autism were unable 

to access the programs 

without specialized support. BCI 

provides the specialized skills 

training and support to assist clients 

with autism in participating 

with their peers in community 

settings including the Hockomock 

Area YMCA. Our staff is 

able to teach social, communication, 

and group participation 

skills in a setting using typical 

peer models,” said BCI Founder 

and Director Dr. Jeff Robinson. 

“The Hockomock Area 

YMCA adopted a policy of inclusion 

many years ago, and we 

have tailored our activities so all 

children can participate,” said 

Karen Friedman, Senior Director 

of the Integration Initiative 

at the Hockomock Area YMCA. 

“We are excited that many more 

members with autism will be able 

to more fully participate in Y activities 

thanks to our partnership 

with BCI.” 

For most families, insurance 

covers the ABA and specialty 

services provided by BCI. BCI 

currently has no wait list in this 

new geographic area; staff will 

review insurance coverage for 

ABA Services with families during 

the intake process. Programming 

in this area also includes 

home services and parent training. 

Social skills groups and afterschool 

programming are also 

in development, and will be held 

in the Hockomock Area Y locations. 

BCI programs are tailored 

to address the clinical needs of 

each individual client. 

Hockomock Area YMCA 

locations are as follows: North 

Attleboro Branch, 300 Elmwood 

Street, North Attleboro; Bernon 

Family Branch, 45 Forge Hill 

Road, Franklin, MA; Invensys 

Foxboro Branch, 67 Mechanic 

Street, Foxboro; and Mansfield 

Arts & Education Center, 40 Balcom 

Street, Mansfield, MA. To 

learn more, visit hockymca.org. 

Based in Worcester, Mass. 

BCI provides much needed services 

to children with autism and 

their families. BCI instructional 

programs are delivered using discrete 

trial training, task analysis, 

and systematic prompting procedures 

implemented by ABA 

therapists who have successfully 

completed pre-service training 

and ongoing training and evaluations 

by their clinical supervisors. 

Instruction is provided across 

a variety of domains, included 

but not limited to: Activities of 

daily living, functional and augmentative 

communication, functional 

academics, community 

outings and safety awareness. A 

heavy emphasis is placed on generalization 

and maintenance of 

skills, in addition to family training, 

so that families may implement 

the supports and carry-over 

skills in the home.

offered by BCI, please visit www.

Representative Dykema Votes for Equal Pay for Women 

RonsTire.com 

635 Waverly Street, Rte 135 

Framingham, MA 01702 

Representative Carolyn 

Dykema (D-Holliston) joined 

her colleagues in the Massachusetts 

House of Representatives 

to unanimously pass An Act to 

establish pay equity, landmark legislation 

establishing equal pay for 

working women. 

S.2119, which Representative 

Dykema co-sponsored in its initial 

House form, prohibits wage 

discrimination on the basis of 

gender. The bill prohibits employers 

from reducing salaries 

to comply with the law and protects 

employees’ right to discuss 

their salaries with one another, 

while still allowing for differential 

pay based on reasonable, 

non-gender-based criteria. The 

bill is supported by many labor 

and women’s advocacy organizations, 

as well as the Greater 

Boston Chamber of Commerce 

and the Associated Industries of 

Massachusetts. 

“I am proud to cast this vote 

not just for working moms like 

myself but for my daughter’s future 

as well,” said Representative 

Ron Saponaro

is a major victory, not just for

sent to the governor for his signature.

Senate Passes Bill to Protect 

Puppies and Kittens 

The Massachusetts Senate 

has unanimously passed legislation 

to improve several areas of 

current law dealing with the sale 

and treatment of dogs and cats. 

S.2370 An Act relative to protecting 

puppies and kittens, filed by 

Senator Karen Spilka, ensures 

that puppies and kittens are bred 

and sold in safe and healthy environments 

and strengthens the 

Massachusetts’ “Puppy Lemon 

Law” to give pet owners more 

options if they unknowingly purchase 

a sick pet. 

“As an animal lover, pet 

owner and occasional small scale 

breeder, I am deeply aware of the 

emotional challenges for families 

when a pet falls ill, as well as the 

need to protect the health and 

safety of young animals,” said 

Senate Committee on Ways 

and Means Chair Senator 

Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland), 

lead sponsor of the bill. “This 

bill is the result of extensive discussion 

with both breeders and 

animal rights activists to protect 

consumers and puppies and kittens 

across the Commonwealth.” 

“This bill will update our animal 

protection laws by setting 

reasonable standards for breeding 

and providing recourse for 

pet owners who have adopted an

animal with undisclosed illnesses 

or complications,” said Senate 

President Stan Rosenberg (D- 

Amherst). 

“This is a significant victory 

for both animals and consumers. 

We receive complaints about, 

and state records document, consumers 

who have been devastated 

after purchasing a puppy who 

they quickly find out is sick,” 

said Kara Holmquist, Director 

of Advocacy at MSPCA-Angell. 

“This bill will allow better 

remedies for these families, prevent 

pet shops from selling puppies 

and kittens from large-scale 

breeders with significant violations 

of the Animal Welfare Act 

and support safe, healthy development 

for growing animals.” 

The bill applies safety and 

breeding standards to protect pets 

and pet owners. The bill prohibits 

the sale of puppies and kittens 

younger than eight weeks old, increasing 

the likelihood that they 

will grow to be healthy dogs and 

cats, and outlines a process for a 

veterinarian to declare an animal 

suffering from a significant adverse 

health condition “unfit for 

purchase.” 

Pet owners deserve protection 

when they unknowingly purchase 

a sick pet that then requires 

extensive veterinary bills and 

emotional and financial stress 

for the family. The bill outlines 

remedies available to a buyer of 

an animal declared unfit for purchase 

by a veterinarian, including 

exchange of the animal or a refund 

and reimbursement for reasonable 

veterinary fees. The bill 

also sets forth a procedure for a 

seller to contest these demands. 

The bill regulates commercial 

breeders and so-called “puppy 

mills” to further protect the 

health and safety of animals. It 

prohibits pet shops from selling 

dogs or cats that originate at or 

are purchased from breeders that 

are not properly licensed or have 

committed certain violations 

of the Animal Welfare Act. Pet 

shops would also be required 

to maintain certain compliance 

records and conspicuously post 

identifying information for the 

animal and the breeder. 

Finally, the bill empowers 

the Department of Agriculture 

to create rules and regulations 

to ensure commercial breeders 

maintain humane conditions. 

At the time of the printing of 

this issue, the bill had been submitted 

to the House for consideration.

Continuous Improvement Key 

for Holliston Field Hockey Team 

By Ken Hamwey 

The first day of pre-season 

practice for the Holliston field 

hockey team, which won the 

Tri Valley League championship 

last fall for the first time in 

22 years, is Aug. 25, but don’t 

expect third-year coach Alyssa 

Wesoly to deliver any rousing 

pep talks or offer any strategic 

tidbits on how the Panthers 

must proceed to repeat as the 

conference’s No. 1 squad. 

There’ll be no talk about 

targets on the players’ backs 

or opponents saving their best 

effort for Holliston. Wesoly’s 

approach will be low-key, even 

for a squad that got a taste of 

tournament play last fall for the 

first time in 11 years. 

“We haven’t set any longrange 

goals, like winning the 

TVL or qualifying for the tourney,’’ 

said Wesoly, who was the 

junior-varsity coach at Dover- 

Sherborn before taking the 

Panthers’ reins in 2014. “Our 

goals are all about preparation

and motivation. If our motivation 

and preparation are under 

control, then the league championship 

and a tourney berth 

will take care of themselves. We 

have to focus on our theme of 

continuous improvement and 

pick up where we left off.’’ 

The Panthers’ second campaign 

with Wesoly last year 

was a season to remember. 

The squad posted a record of 

12-3-3, then won two playoff 

games to advance to the sectional 

quarterfinals where it 

lost to Hanover, 1-0. Holliston’s 

two playoff triumphs came in 

overtime, against Scituate and 

Falmouth. 

Wesoly, whose first year on 

the job produced a four-win 

season, employs a style of field 

hockey that’s refreshing. Instead 

of a deliberate, patient attack, 

she favors an up-tempo offense 

that emphasizes crisp and accurate 

passing. “I want us to play 

with finesse but I also want to 

apply pressure on defense,’’ she

said. “What that creates is more 

offensive opportunities.’’ 

When the 27-year-old coach, 

who started for four seasons 

on defense at Westfield State, 

greets her returning veterans 

and newcomers in three weeks, 

the likes of goalie Cat Berg, 

defenders Genevieve Kent and 

Marissa Leger and midfielder 

Annie Croke won’t be on 

hand. “Those four senior captains 

gave us terrific leadership 

on and off the field,’’ Wesoly 

noted. “But, we’ve got another 

group of quality captains and 

other talented returnees.’’ 

This year’s captains are all 

seniors — center midfielder 

Meg Burke, the TVL’s MVP 

last year; Kate Naughton on defense; 

and forwards Addie Datz 

and Betsy Hamre. Other keys 

are forward Jill Danis and topnotch 

defenders Haley Hanstad 

(TVL second-team all-star) and 

Chloe Londono-Ayr. 

“Meg is a special player,’’ 

Wesoly said. “She’s a great 

passer and very unselfish. Kate 

leads by example and is strong 

defensively, Addie is athletic 

and fast and Betsy is the voice 

of the squad. Jill was one of our 

top scorers last year and Haley 

and Chloe are very effective defenders.’’ 

Wesoly gives her captains 

lots of responsibilities and expects 

them to be extensions 

of the coaching staff, which 

includes jayvee coach Paul 

Hickey, his daughter Kate, the 

goalie coach, and volunteer assistant 

Nikki Perregaux, a teammate 

of Wesoly’s in college. 

“The captains are communicators 

who set the tone at practice 

and determine the culture 

of the team,’’ Wesoly emphasized. 

“They ensure that our 

culture is close-knit and I go to 

them when I need our intensity 

to pick up.’’ 

Wesoly already is able to 

judge her team’s strengths and 

areas of concern, listing Holliston’s 

assets as a strong work 

ethic, knowledge of the basics, 

athleticism, leadership, team 

chemistry and experience. 

Holliston Field Hockey Coach Alyssa Wesoly’s theme for her players: 

continuous improvement. 

“We can improve our depth,’’ 

she noted. “And, we’ve got to 

be able to deal with potential 

bumps in the road. We were 

resilient last year and need to 

have that quality again.’’ 

Looking past pre-season 

scrimmages and practice, Wesoly 

believes Dover-Sherborn, 

Hopkinton and Medway will 

contend with Holliston for the 

TVL title. “Dover-Sherborn 

has many veterans returning, 

Hopkinton is fundamentally 

sound and Medway is very respectable, 

a team that beat us 

last year,’’ Wesoly recalled. 

At Westfield State, Wesoly 

was a captain and also an allstar 

in the MASCAC. A phys-ed 

major, she graduated in 2010, 

and later earned a masters degree 

from Cambridge College 

in health education. As a veteran 

coach who’s now linked to 

a championship, Wesoly knows 

what it takes for athletic success. 

She wasn’t surprised that it took 

Holliston only two seasons to 

get the program on track. 

“The girls bought in quickly 

and understood they had something 

special,’’ Wesoly said. 

“They had good team chemistry, 

strong veteran leadership, 

and their talent surfaced. That’s 

why I don’t need to make any 

speeches about our objectives 

when we meet later this month. 

The players know what they’ve 

done and what they have to do 

for continued success.’’

Holliston Native, Freshman Elkinson Proves 

His Worth at Hartford 

By Christopher Tremblay 

It wasn’t that long ago that 

Zach Elkinson was patrolling 

the lacrosse field for the Holliston 

Panthers. One year later, 

after just completing his freshman 

season at the University of 

Hartford, the Holliston resident 

has taken his game to the next 

level playing for the NCAA Division 

1 school. Under Head 

Coach Peter Lawrence, the 

Hawks posted the second most 

wins in the programs history 

during the 2016 campaign and 

was the first team in the American 

East Conference to win the 

conference championship as a 

four seed. 

After earning the fourth and 

final seed in the conference 

tournament, Hartford shocked 

everyone by defeating Albany, 

the top seed and fourth in the 

country. And when number 3 

Vermont upset the two seed 

Hartford would get a chance at 

revenging an earlier 13-4 loss 

during the regular season to 

take the title. 

Although Elkinson never 

thought that he’d be a major 

contributor to the Hawks’ success 

this past season, things 

changed once he stepped foot 

on the Connecticut campus. 

“I did not expect to start, 

never mind play at Hartford 

my first year. It’s a Division 1 

program making it tough for 

any freshman to break into the 

lineup,” the Holliston native 

said. “I was unsure to how Hartford 

was going to do, but upon 

my arrival it was obvious that 

everyone on campus was positive 

that we’d be contenders, 

and I bought into it.” 

Once at Hartford, Elkinson 

began playing fall lacrosse as a 

midfielder, but soon after was 

sidelined with mono. The illness 

caused him to miss a lot of 

playing time and immediately 

put him behind the eight ball 

as an incoming freshman. The 

first year midfielder began to 

work hard to regain his stamina 

to play college lacrosse. In Hartford’s 

first game of the season 

against Boston University he 

saw limited playing time against 

the Bulldogs, but made the most 

of it by notching a goal and 2 

assist. By the third game of the 

season he was starting. 

“As a high school football and 

lacrosse player, he was most successful 

playing against Division 

1 schools,” Coach Lawrence 

said. “Zach was able to translate 

that athleticism to the collegiate 

level. There may be more gifted 

athletes, but he made the most 

of his abilities.” 

Like a good number of athletes 

starting for the first time, 

the freshman was a bundle of 

nerves prior to the game, but 

seemed to ease into it after it 

started. 

“I was extremely nervous, 

this was my first ever Division 

1 college start,” he said. “It was 

a good opportunity to prove to 

Coach Lawrence and the rest of 

the team what I could do. A lot 

of freshmen just don’t get put 

into that type of situation.” 

Coach Lawrence, who 

stepped down following his 11 th 

season with Hartford and was 

replaced by assistant Ryan Martin, 

saw talent in the defensive 

midfielder. 

“Elk (as he was called on the 

lacrosse field) was playing at a 

high competitive level and used 

his speed to his advantage,” 

Lawrence said. “They say speed 

kills, and we soon found out that 

Elk was a killer. A big part of his 

speed is his athleticism and he 

was able to make the necessary 

adjustments to be successful on 

this level.” 

Becoming a successful freshman 

athlete on college level is 

few and far between. According 

to Coach Lawrence, there are 

about 10-12 freshmen making 

the team every year, but only 

3 or 4 of them that have that 

unique ability to contribute 

right away – Elkinson was one 

of those individuals. 

Playing alongside of junior 

Conor Daley and sophomore 

Dylan Protesto the trio worked 

well together and started to 

make a name for themselves 

throughout the county. The 

Holliston native found himself 

in the top five in the conference 

when it came to ground balls 

grabbing 54 in 17 games for a 

3.18 average which ranked him 

70 th in the country. Elkinson’s 

54 ground balls were second on 

the team behind Protesto’s 131. 

“I didn’t expect this,” Elkinson 

said. “I knew that Dylan 

was a top notch at face-offs, but 

never thought that we’d be as 

dominant as we were.” 

Having taken part in his first 

collegiate lacrosse season, Elkinson 

knows that although he has 

had some success he cannot just 

sit back and enjoy the year, he 

needs to move on. 

“I believe that I had a great 

season, one much better than 

I could have imagined, but I 

couldn’t have done it without 

Dylan,” he said. “I definitely 

had my ups and downs and 

need to work on my shooting if 

I want to take my game to the 

next level. I had 2 goals and 3 

assists this year, but I missed the 

net a lot.” 

Elkinson plans on playing 

club lacrosse with the Fighting 

Clams out of Acton while he is 

home, so that when he returns 

to Hartford in the fall he will 

be more than ready to take the 

field during his sophomore year. 

“College lacrosse was so 

much different that high 

school,” he said. “It was not 

only a much faster game, but everyone 

knew how to catch and 

throw with the best of them. I 

feel that I am on that level, but I 

still need to work on my game.” 

Zach Elkinson has had unusually 

great success as a freshman 

playing lacrosse for the 

University of Hartford.


Kick Off Home Improvement Season 

With Easy Maintenance Projects 

By Scott McGillivray 

As the days get longer and the 

weather improves, this is the time 

to make sure that our homes or 

rental properties are well maintained. 

Here are a few do-ityourself 

projects to keep your 

home in tip-top shape: 

• Top up your attic insulation. 

Many older homes have inadequate 

levels of insulation in the 

attic that wouldn’t meet today’s 

building code. Topping it up will 

help reduce energy consumption 

and keep your house cooler in the 

summer months. A great product 

for this task is Roxul ComfortBatt 

insulation. It’s easy to install, cuts 

simply with a serrated blade or 

bread knife and protects against 

fire, moisture and mold. Aim 

for a depth of 16 inches or an 

R-value of 50. Insulating properly 

could also provide added 

benefits, such as improving the 

longevity of your air conditioner 

by reducing stress on the unit as 

temperatures rise. 

• Inspect your roof and make 

minor repairs. Winter can be 

especially hard on a roof. Look 

for ice, hail or water damage. 

Replace any cracked or missing 

shingles and clear any debris. 

• Clean your gutters. It’s not 

glamorous work, but your home’s 

gutters play an essential role in 

moving water away from your 

home and preventing damage. 

Consider installing gutter guards 

to ensure your gutters remain 

functional and free from debris. 

• Inspect windows and doors 

and re-caulk where necessary. 

Because a proper seal is essential 

in both heating and cooling 

seasons, this job should be 

performed twice a year to protect 

against drafts and moisture, 

and to keep insects out. Worn 

weatherstripping should also be 

replaced. 

Other simple jobs include fixing 

leaky faucets, repairing and 

resealing decks, inspecting the 

foundation and scheduling a 

checkup for your HVAC system. 

The key is being honest about 

what you can handle and, when 

in doubt, call in the pros.
